THE MERCURY MISCHIEF:
AS OBAMA WARNS OF HAZARDS,
THE FDA APPROVES MERCURY DENTAL FILLINGS

Ellen Brown,

August 28th, 2009

The government seems to be speaking out of both sides of its mouth, as the President preaches one thing and the FDA does another. If we are going to have “smarter medicine that really works,” we need to get politics, lobbies and cronyism out of science. Read the rest of this entry »

Now it IS safe for your child to use a mobile: After years of warnings, official leaflet drops safety guidance

By SEAN POULTER

01st September 2009

DailyMail

Plans to give the green light for children to use mobile phones despite cancer fears have angered health campaigners.
The draft of a new advisory leaflet for parents by the Department of Health removes safety advice to impose strict limits on youngsters’ use of the handsets.
It goes on to suggest that heating to the head caused by using a mobile is no more harmful than a hot bath. Read the rest of this entry »

At least nine out of 10 British 16-year-olds have their own handset, as do more than four in 10 primary schoolchildren.
Current advice from the Department of Health had said that research showed mobile phone use “affects brain activity”, although it conceded there were “significant gaps in our scientific knowledge”. Read the rest of this entry »

A Beekeeper’s thoughts on her bee losses

Posted by seumasach on August 31, 2009

By Marion Lang

May 2009
On mid-summer’s day in 1995 I was gifted a cast of bees by a local beekeeper.     They prospered from the start and in no time at all I found myself the proud owner of several hives.
A year or so later when varroa was found in the vicinity my bees were inspected by Sandy Lister.     I was given the all-clear but warned that my bees would probably have it within two years.
I fitted varroa floors to the hives for easy monitoring and in September 1998 I found my first mite.
Over the years I have used various treatments but only if I felt it was necessary.     Mite levels remained low and presented no significant problem.  The occasional bee showed signs of virus and for a spell I had a number of black hairless bees.   Some hives did not do as well as others but on the whole they still prospered.
In the late 1990s I began to notice environmental changes.    The lapwings once so abundant all but disappeared and the winter geese numbers dropped dramatically.

28th august, 2009

(NaturalNews) The United States of America is devolving into medical fascism and Massachusetts is leading the way with the passage of a new bill, the “Pandemic Response Bill” 2008, reportedly just passed by the MA state Senate and now awaiting approval in the House. This bill suspends virtually all Constitutional rights of Massachusetts citizens and forces anyone “suspected” of being infected to submit to interrogations, “decontaminations” and vaccines.

What’s the Danger of Swine Flu Vaccinations?

Posted by seumasach on August 29, 2009

Dr. Anders Bruun Laursen

Global Research

29th August, 2009

There seems to be quite a lot of uncertainty about the technical nature of Swine Flu (H1N1) vaccines.

As a medical doctor, I wish to clarify a number of improtant issues: First, we should talk about vaccines instead of vaccine, since the vaccines vary as for their compositions and even their ways of being dispensed: some by injection, another by the nose.

The Vaccine Resistance Movement in Canada will hold a Nationwide Informational Demonstration and Political Protest, Friday August 28th, 29th and 30th, 2009. We want to ensure that our right as free human beings, to decide for ourselves whether or not to be vaccinated will not be violated, under ANY circumstances, and without fear of any consequences. Everyone who shares our concerns about H1N1,vaccine dangers, as well as the threat to natural health solutions under Bill C-6, needs to get involved, inform others, and to help protest the mass vaccination agenda (which may become mandatory).

Early and Current Fears about Vaccine Dangers

28th August, 2009

Given today’s hysteria over a non-existent Swine Flu threat and possible mandating of experimental, untested, toxic, and likely bioengineered vaccines, it’s appropriate to review early fears about their dangers – when evidence first surfaced and concerns were raised.
